Which one? Whose? There is no such animal as "group theory".
There are sets and operators between members of that set that form
members of the same set, but there is no "theory", that is definition of a
group
with its 4 axioms. Or perhaps you call definitions "theories". I do not.

Speaking of which, the cuckoo transformations are not a group, time is not a
vector. It has no additive inverse.

No he did not, he scored a bullseye.

You should tell that to the majority of its contributors, including
surrealistic-dream.
The term "relativity" specifically refers to the blunders of Einstein.
If I mean Galilean relativity then I say that, otherwise the majority
refer to relativity as Einstein's relativity.
Experiment distinguishes between a stick in water appearing bent
and light being bent, that is why the experiment is conducted. so you
are fucking WRONG.
Androcles.

Do a Google search on "group theory". I didn't make this up,
mathematicians did. Perhaps they reasoned it by using this definition
of theory or something close to it:
"a supposition or system of ideas explaining something, especially one
based on general principles independent on the particular things to be
explained" (Oxford Canadian Dictionary). The axioms of the theory
constitute the general principles on which deductions are made.

There is also set theory, tensor theory, and number theory. Look 'em up
in Google if you don't believe me.

Einstein's personal life is not the content of the theory of
relativity.

Seriously, we [tinw] are all agreed that the likes of [Hammond] are just
insane, but Androcles takes it to a new level.

I plonked him ages ago. There's idiots, then there's bigoted idiots,
then there's Androcles - on a level of stupidity unparalled.

Well, that's a big claim. The competition for the title of Usenet's
Top Idiot is intense, with lots of prime candidates in the running.
True, androcles may appear in the lead right now, but that's partly
because some of his top competitors appear to be taking a break. The
race is far from over.

Indeed. Unlike most sporting events (World Cup/Olympics etc) this is
one event that just keeps on delivering ;-)

Well, freak shows were popular since antiquity, so there is a
distinguished tradition behind this event.
